Memory usage

hi,

I've been messing about with the .NET Framework for Windows for a while now,
It seems to take ~10Mb of memory to initalise and initiate execution of a program.
I measure the 10Mb via using Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del).

When mono is in an almost-complete state, would its memory usage be similar ?

 I've got no problems with programs using a lot of memory - just my pc at the moment only
 only seems to read DIMMs at half what their capacity actualy is (my 256Mb PC133 will only show
 up as a 128 - hence I dont have much ram to spare :)

 How does the garbage collection technique actually work  -  Is it a method of waiting for the CPU
 to become idle before it will do a scan or does it wait for physical memory to be running low before
 it does a collection ?

 thanks,

 Peter
